Abstract: | The title compound, C13H9NO, crystallizes with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each of the four crystallographically independent molecules forms a chain parallel to the a axis with symmetry‐equivalent molecules. These chains are held together by similar O—H·NC hydrogen bonds, with approximately linear O—H·N angles and significantly bent H·N—C angles. The four different molecules are related by strong elements of pseudosymmetry. To better describe the pseudosymmetry, the structure has been reported in the non‐standard space group . |
